The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

The two men immediately came to their senses and became more polite to Feng Xiaoniang, but they also seemed a little distant. After saying goodbye, they stood outside the yard.

Seeing such an attitude, Xiao Yu'an's face turned dark. He waved his hand and sent away the other maids in the yard, then helped Feng Xiaoniang back to the house.

When there was no one around, Xiao Yu'an couldn't help but ask.

"Mom, are we just going to put up with this? Why did that bitch hit you?"

Xiao Yu'an looked at the palm print on Feng Xiaoniang's face, with raging anger in his eyes.

Feng Xiaoniang didn't care at all. She took the tea handed to her by Xiao Yu'an, smiled and said.

"Who can blame her for her good fortune? When she was young, she had the support of her maternal family. Her maternal family was not as powerful as the Marquis's Mansion, and she could rely on her son. She watched her son become disabled, but now she still has a grandson..."

When she said the last sentence, Feng Xiaoniang even laughed out of anger. It seemed that she really cared about Madam Xiao's good fortune.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xiao Yu'an's eyes.

"Mom, no matter how good a person's life is, it will eventually run out. Now it seems that the bitch has nothing to show for it. The only thing we can rely on is the fetus in Xie Ruyu's belly. Otherwise, we..."

"no!"

Feng Xiaoniang lost the smile on her face and refused directly.

Xiao Yu'an looked puzzled.

"Why? If we take action and kill the baby in Xie Ruyu's belly, then Madam Xiao will be left with nothing to rely on. I promise to do it without leaving any trace."

"Xiao Yusheng has lost face and his body is crippled. He can no longer be a threat to us. That old woman can no longer be so arrogant. We no longer have any rivals."

Feng Xiaoniang still shook her head with a firm attitude, but seeing her son's face full of indignation, she sighed and explained patiently.

"We have been patient for many years, and we cannot afford to lose at the last moment. The baby in Xie Ruyu's belly is just a fetus whose gender we don't know. Since we don't know the gender, we still have a 50% chance of winning."

"For example, if Xie Ruyu gave birth to a girl, the title would naturally have nothing to do with Madam Xiao. There would be no need for us to do anything. She would be so frustrated that she would die. And at her age, she would not be able to give birth to a son."

The corners of Feng Xiaoniang's mouth gradually rose.

"Your father is the most realistic. If Madam Xiao cannot rely on anyone, she will lose her status sooner or later. Even if she is still the mistress of Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion, she will be nothing without dignity, not to mention-"

Having said this, the smile on Feng Xiaoniang's lips disappeared and dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.

"Your father is such a realistic person that he won't change his mind easily. He has never valued bastards. Originally, this time, that little bastard Xiao Yusheng was deprived of the position of Crown Prince, and this position should have fallen on you."

"You deserve it in terms of both age and ability, but your father didn't do it. Guess why?"

Feng Xiaoniang's rhetorical question left Xiao Yu'an speechless.

Xiao Yu'an clenched his hands into fists again.

"I know that Dad just doesn't like my status as a bastard, but I'm also his son, why would he do this?"

Feng Xiaoniang sighed, stood up, patted her son on the shoulder and advised him.

"Speaking of this, I am sorry for you. I am just a concubine. Although I am a good concubine, I don't have any family to rely on. If I were like Madam Xiao, with an extraordinary family background and your maternal family to help me, I would definitely take the position of the crown prince from you."

"It's a pity that I, your mother, don't have my family to rely on, so I can't give you this kind of help, so you can only rely on yourself. And now, we still need more time. Before the time is ripe, we must be patient. Otherwise, we have endured for so many years, and if something goes wrong because of our impatience, wouldn't it be in vain?"

Xiao Yu'an's face was clearly still full of dissatisfaction, but he didn't have the heart to blame his mother. He looked at his mother with a face full of resentment.

"Mother, if I can inherit the title of Marquis Cheng'en in the future, I will never let that bitch go. She has bullied you for so many years, and we must pay her back one by one in the future!"

Feng Xiaoniang smiled with relief.

"Mother knows that you are filial, but you can't think of anything else right now. All your energy and time must be spent on studying. I let you come back from the academy this time just to show off in front of your father. Now the end of the year is approaching."

"After the New Year and the Spring Festival, the imperial examination will follow. If you were from a small family, you would have been able to get a seat at the imperial examination with your previous achievements. But you were born in the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion and are in the capital."

Sighing, Feng Xiaoniang felt helpless.

"In a place like the capital, a brick thrown down would make anyone a fifth-rank official, so your title of Juren is nothing. But if you can rank among the top in this examination, not to mention the first place, but if you can get into the second place and become a Jinshi, it will also bring honor to your mother."

"By then, your father will no longer be able to ignore you. Even if you are born out of wedlock, if you win fame and honor on your own, your father will do everything he can to push you to the position of Crown Prince."

"When that time comes, we will have real power. Not to mention the unborn child, even if it is Madam Xiao, it will be easy for you to control her. So we have to endure it now until that day!"

Xiao Yu'an's blood boiled at his mother's words and he nodded immediately.

"Don't worry, mother! I understand. I will work hard and I will definitely win the title of Jinshi!"

……

The Liu family case was a tragedy.

Mrs. Xie sighed.

"Our family also read and reread this case. Miss Liu is so pitiful. She died at such a young age. Censor Liu is also pitiful. He finally had a daughter in his old age, but she is gone just like that."

Lord Xie then said, "By the way, speaking of Censor Liu, maybe because he lost his daughter in his old age, Censor Liu has been very reckless in the past two years. In the court, he would criticize anyone he could get his hands on."

"In today's incident between our family and the Xiao family, this Imperial Censor Liu was the one who rushed to the front. The other Imperial Censors were all instigated by someone behind the scenes, deliberately adding insult to injury, but this Imperial Censor Liu did not join any prince, so this was his own initiative."

Lord Xie sighed and spoke in complicated words.

"But if you think about it, you can understand it. Although the case of the Xiao family is different from that of Miss Liu, it is actually similar. In the end, the woman suffered the loss."

"The case of Miss Liu has ended, but Miss Liu has been talked about a lot. Although our Xie family is standing here this time, Lingxi is also often talked about, which is considered a disadvantage. Censor Liu may be targeting the Xiao family because of this."

Xie Lingxi nodded, her expression becoming a little more serious.

"Father is right. I mentioned the Liu family's case because there is something else going on in Censor Liu's case. The death of Miss Liu is not that simple. I know the truth."
